It was created in 1921 from assets of a different, previous line. Due to the economic climate, it received large government subsidies overseen by the U.S. Shipping Board. These subsidies or incentives were necessary for the disposal, sale and return to service of the large fleet of ocean liners or passenger ships that had been converted for use as troop transport ships during World War I (many had been confiscated German vessels used for troop transportation.) The piers at Hoboken were owned by the federal government controlled by the U.S. Maritime Commission due to their previous use as the U.S. Army Port of Embarkation and later, Debarkation. The U.S. Lines would later use Piers designated as 3 and 4 in Hoboken The proposed sailings covered dates from when it was issued up to early August 1922.
